One family's journal of life's little adventures

Month: April 2015

“We are not uncertain of God, just uncertain what He is going to do next. . .But when we have a right relationship with God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy… Leave everything to Him and it will be gloriously and graciously uncertain how He will come– but you can be certain He will come. . .”

It has been a while since I have used this space. It has been a season full of life around here. By that I mean the good and the hard that life brings. But I want to return here, slowly. So today, I start with the song that I am playing on repeat around here. Kristen DiMarco singing “It Is Well.”

Lyrics:

Grander earth has quaked before
Moved by the sound of His voice
Seas that are shaken and stirred
Can be calmed and broken for my regard
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
Through it all, through it all
It is well
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
It is well with me
Far be it from me to not believe
Even when my eyes can’t see
And this mountain that’s in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea
So let go my soul and trust in Him
The waves and wind still know His name
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

From living in a church in Tijuana, to college campuses in Chile. From urban at-risk youth in Minneapolis, to Alzheimer's patients in a nursing home. From walking alongside women with eating disorders to staying at home with my kids.
My life has been one continuous adventure in loving and discovering more of God and humanity. An adventure full of mishaps and mistakes.
In this season, my main teachers and co-adventures are my husband and two children. And this is where I write. Welcome.
